The Fading Pink of a Few Ghostly Swear Words,
Delikoura’s subject draws inspiration from the marble sculptures of Elefsina, particularly those depicting animals. A subtle graffiti detail in the bottom right-hand corner juxtaposes the architecture of the past with the evolving urban landscape, documenting the city’s transformation over time.
This work demonstrates Lydia’s continuous interest in the exploration of colour pink. She explores the colour through a variation of objects and subjects, often inspired by mythology, ancient civilisations and her immediate surroundings. The use of found hedgehog spines further highlights her keen experimentation with mediums (as her practice goes beyond painting) and underpins the importance of nature and landscape in her oeuvre.
